What works for you may not work for him, I have found that you cannot be this specific as to what to do until you have seen quite a bit of their game; in person or on video; you will note that I have bolded some things that are NOT done by some of the greatest players the world has ever seen...

Too many to list. When I started, the people around me. When I joined a team, the better guys on the team. When I became a fan of pro pool, I taped every match I could and took a little from sooooo many. When I started teaching I started taking a little bit from everybody and also seeing what...

This is your analysts phase, don't skimp; in my paper (that I wrote 12 years ago, I think I will do some rewording) I say this. After the opening break or if you have been in your chair for a few shots you should: Walk all the way around the table: 1. Because you must know all the balls...

I suck at the double kissback shot, got any pointers; maybe something I am missing?

This is already good stuff; a general request from me would be to get into the "both sides" of the equation. I know we should be focusing on what we should be doing and not what we should not be doing but if you tell us what we should not be doing it may help (I know it will for me) to identify...

It's the best feeling in the world huh? Kind of like freefall, you have a new drug; congrats and unfortuantely you are probably now officially addicted to pool, poor man :smile:

http://www.meuccicues.com/shafts.html They say it's the lowest deflection shaft, I like the "I" shafts from McDermott; too many to choose from today to say "this one is great and better than the rest".

Oh slumps exist alright no question about it, it is just that they only exist for people that believe in them. It is a self fulfilling prophecy; you only get into a slump if you believe you're in a slump. I don't believe in slumps (anymore). Sure I have bad games, bad days/nights but I don't...

Thinking like this will get you into trouble, yes combo's can get real tough real fast with angle & separation of the 2 OB's yes we get that. To those that say "there can be easy combo's", yea I think most of us get that to. I still have problems with combo's and don't think that is ever going...

Yup, find the local guy that puts on tips for $10-$20; get a new Kamui and move along.

I will 2nd that and will be adopting it; good one Fran, really good one.

I think it is more helpful and productive to learn the elements of the pre-shot routine and then implement those ones that you feel comfortable with into your game, here are 2 excellent videos on the PSR. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP5hLNkWjdo&feature=player_embedded...

It sure does because. Yuper Probably Kind of the same thing in pool, most people can feel this to a better degree in pool than they can in golf, that would be my guess anyway. One would have to get to be at a very high skill level in both to answer that definitively, unfortunately man...

Easy there buddy; I don't think you will be attacked here, you can look at the CB last if you want to, most people do better with looking at the OB last though; it probably isn't something earthshaking anyway. I teach OB last, but it isn't the end of the world.

Can you go into the specifics of the test?

You don't think that "I chalk for some shots" + "I use masters" covers you? Humm, see below You have to have a hell of a lot more than just good mechanics (stroke) to do that. Me to

I see how people are looking at it, this is a valid point; thanks. Yea that's how some people are looking at it This is what comes up in my mind as the difference, I actually didn't consider that I would have to spell that out; my guess is that it used to irritate me (before I got a chalker)...

And they were pretty simple except for 1 shot. Yup Ok I think you mean "cheat the pocket", BTW that is common lingo in most parts of the country. So your contention is that systems cannot be used from "weird positions"? I will tell you that is entirely incorrect. This is not specific to...

I do not understand this at all; seeing as you can see only one ball the only thing I can figure is that it is just to make this ball; with all of these shots one could use any system at all. If it is a question of what I (or anyone) would do given this position, here is my answer. Shot #1...

Different joints have different qualities, steel joints have a different "report" than wood joints, to me that's the only substantial difference, I like wood slightly better. All the other stuff I couldn't tell unless I broke down the cue.
